Abstract
The construction of range restricted G1 parametric surface to data that all lie on one side of a constraint plane is considered. The interpolating surface is developed piecewise as the convex combination of three quartic Bézier triangular patches. Sufficient tangent plane continuity conditions along the common boundary of two adjacent quartic Bézier triangular patches are presented. Sufficient range restriction conditions are derived which imposed the lower bound to Bézier points. In addition, supplementary conditions to ensure the range restriction of two adjoining triangular Bézier patches are presented. The normal vectors are estimated at the data sites by a local estimation method. The Bézier points are initially determined by the data points and the estimated normal vectors at data, and such that the interpolant is G1 continuous across one of the triangle boundaries. The Bézier points are then modified if necessary so that the sufficient range restriction condition is fulfilled in conjunction with the continuity condition. The resulting surface is G1 continuous and lies on the same side of the constraint plane as the given data. Some examples are presented graphically.
